Spoiling myself this Xmas....first getting the 20D, now getting the 580EX flash.

Which means I have an almost new flash appearing in the classifieds shortly.

Model:


Sigma - EF 500 SUPER DG Flashgun - New Version
bought from WarehouseExpress.com, a couple of months ago.

Get in touch.

Looking at warehouseexpress, they list different models for the Canon and Nikon.

I'm sure it'll happily work as a slave though, although that's a bit of a waste of a flash unit like this with so many features.

Price: £110

And its absolutely fantastic

Very, very clever. Especially the quick control wheel on the back. Set it using a custom function so that you just turn it in either direction to adjust flash exposure compensation. Really handy. The catchlight panel is also a very clever, and very cheap tool.

Will be going out over Chrimbo to take LOTS of piccies
